Keep your eyes on the score, or close them and listen. • Tempo Ramp raises the tempo a step at a time, from your starting speed to your goal. • Mute Training leaves gaps in the click so you can work on keeping time yourself. • Subdivision Trainer takes you through a sequence of subdivisions without stopping to change settings. • Mixed meter and polyrhythms give you room to work on changing meters and overlapping rhythms. • Human Feel adds small timing variations to the click.

TempoTap ist ein Metronom, das komplett am Handgelenk lebt – ohne iPhone, ohne Fummelei mit dem Bildschirm mitten in der Probe. Handgelenk heben, Tempo antippen oder mit der Digital Crown einstellen, los geht's. TempoTap hält den Takt mit einer drift-freien Engine, einem klaren haptischen Impuls bei jedem Schlag und einem synthetisierten Klick, der auch neben einem Playback hörbar bleibt. WARUM MUSIKER:INNEN ES NUTZEN • Läuft eigenständig auf der Apple Watch – das Handy bleibt in der Tasche • Digital Crown stellt das Tempo sofort ein, 30–300 BPM • Tap-Tempo – einfach mitklopfen, TempoTap erkennt dein Tempo in wenigen Schlägen • Eine ganze Setlist als Presets speichern, jede mit eigenem Tempo und Taktart • Songs mitten in der Probe wechseln – ganz ohne Stottern, der Takt setzt nie aus • Jeden Schlag am Handgelenk spüren, mit deutlichem Akzent auf Schlag 1 • Der Klick duckt sich unter Bluetooth-Wiedergabe weg, sodass du beides hörst • Pulsiert sanft weiter im Always-On-Display, wenn das Handgelenk absinkt FÜR PRÄZISION GEBAUT Die Timing-Engine von TempoTap berechnet jeden Schlag ausgehend von einem festen Ankerpunkt, statt Intervalle aufzusummieren – der Klick kann also nicht wegdriften, selbst über ein langes Set hinweg. Sie läuft auf der eigenen Uhr der Watch, unbeeinflusst von anderen Apps. FÜR BÜHNE UND ÜBUNGSRAUM GEMACHT Ob du eine Band einzählst, Tonleitern übst oder das Tempo durch eine lange Probe hältst – TempoTap bleibt am Handgelenk, auf einen Blick lesbar und exakt im Takt. Kein Konto. Kein Abo. Keine Werbung.
